Chapter 353: The Weird Xu Damao
In 1956, after the public-private partnership was fully completed,

Daxia began to implement the [National Economic and Rent Policy], and carried out public-private joint-venture transformation of private residences.
All houses in the city that were larger than a certain area were rented by the state at extremely low prices and then sublet to the increasing number of workers due to industrialization.

Besides the west wing in the backyard of the quadrangle, Xu Fugui
There is also an ancestral house in Beiping.
In order to avoid renting the house to the state, Xu Fugui and his wife moved back to their ancestral home with Xu Zhaodi in 1956, leaving 18-year-old Xu Damao living alone in the courtyard.

Compared to the overly shrewd Xu Fugui,

The remaining empty houses in the courtyard were rented by the street office from the deaf old lady, and some workers were arranged to live in them.

As a result, the courtyard was overcrowded at that time.

Apart from the age difference and the addition of He Daqing and his wife to the main house in the central courtyard, the courtyard house now is almost the same as when the TV series opened.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Guangqi rolled his eyes and complained,

"I said, Zhuzi, that's enough.
The fact that there are no houses in Siheyuan doesn’t mean that there are no houses in other places.

In order to accommodate the increasing number of workers, our steel mill built more than a dozen tube-shaped buildings last year. If I act quickly enough, they might even give me a house.
Why shouldn't I want this free house? I have to find a partner quickly."

In 1953, when the First Five-Year Plan just started, all the major factories competed to build new workers' villages for their workers.

By 1957, when the First Five-Year Plan came to an end, the 156 projects assisted by the Russians were gradually completed and put into production.
Faced with the growing number of workers,
It is no longer appropriate to build a time-consuming and labor-intensive new workers' village for all the workers.
Based on the principle of "lowering standards and solving housing difficulties first", tube-shaped buildings came into being.

When Liu Guangqi mentioned the tube building, He Yuzhu asked with a smile,

"I have seen the batch of new tube buildings built in the steel mill.

Although the toilet and kitchen are shared, the conditions are only slightly worse than those in a courtyard house, but much better than those row houses in the city.

But the second uncle and his wife will definitely not agree that you, the eldest of the Liu family, should move out and not live with them.
What will you do then?"

Hearing this, Liu Guangqi curled his lips and said helplessly,

"What can I do if I don't move out?
There are no empty houses in the Siheyuan now. Even the toilet next to Uncle Yan's house was filled up last year and given to Yan Jiecheng.

How can I get married if I don't move out? I can't live in the same room with Guangtian and Guangfu after I get married.
Regardless of whether the girl is willing or not, even I myself am not happy about it.

There is no privacy at all.”

As soon as Liu Guangqi finished speaking, he heard Xu Damao urging him impatiently,

"Come on, Guangqi, stop talking nonsense to Zhuzi. This guy is just talking nonsense.
Their family has the most houses in the quadrangle.

He and Uncle He not only occupied the east wing of the front yard and the main house in the middle yard, but Yu Shui and Li Qingshan also had an annex room each.

Not to mention that his father-in-law still had a lot of quadrangle courtyards that did not meet the conditions for renting.

Heying will never be short of houses in the future.

We can't compare with him at all, why are you saying so much!
Go home and have dinner quickly. After dinner, we will go to the street office to attend the blind date dance. This time, I have to find a daughter from a rich family and get a few more houses. "However, Liu Guangqi did not listen to him and retorted to him,
"I said, Xu Damao, why are you getting more and more excited the more you talk?
Zhuzi has been married to Xiao'e for almost three years, and He Ying will be two years old soon.

I didn’t see any reaction from you in the past two years. How come you seemed like a different person when you came back after spending the New Year at Uncle Xu’s house this year?

My conditions cannot be compared with Zhuzi's, but how can they be compared with yours?

Not only did you live alone in the west wing of the backyard, but in 56 you took over Uncle Xu's job as a film projectionist at the steel mill, and you were also a member of our Dongcheng District Film Projection Team.
Every time you went to the countryside to show a movie, you came back with a lot of bags.
In the past month, every household in the courtyard has had poor food and lack of oil and water, but you and Zhuzi's family are living the best life.
What else are you dissatisfied with? "

Hearing this, Xu Damao rolled his eyes and told him all the complaints Xu Fugui had made to him during the Chinese New Year.
“I was young and ignorant before!
You see, before the Chinese New Year this year, Lou Xiao'e went back to her parents' home and brought back a stack of food coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, and cloth coupons, which were enough for an ordinary person to have for two or three months.

Not to mention that He Ying had milk powder to drink last year,

We currently have only two milk powder factories in Daxia: the Yakeshi Milk Powder Factory and the Gannan Dairy Factory.

Ordinary people can't even see milk powder, so how can Heying drink it?

It’s all thanks to Lou Xiaoe’s father.

If this guy hadn’t come back from military service and interfered, these things would have belonged to me and my son.”

Hearing Xu Damao mention his son, He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I thought to myself, if I hadn't traveled through time, according to the plot of the TV series, you, an idiot, would have been beaten into infertility by that guy Sha Zhu, so how could you have a child?

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking about this, he heard Liu Guangqi next to him retort again.

"Go! Go! Go,

You said this as if you were certain that it would be set in stone without the pillars.
Don't forget that my father and Uncle Yan had the same idea as your father at the beginning, and it's still uncertain who will win! "

Hearing this, Xu Damao looked at Liu Guangqi with disdain.
"whispering sound!

Just you and Yan Jiecheng,

You Liu family don't have any extra houses. To put it bluntly, Yan Jiecheng is like a maggot living in the toilet.
Not to mention that my mother has worked in Lou's house for so many years, what can you two compare with me!

Forget it, if you don't want to leave, just stay here and chat with him. I'm going back first. I have to cook when I get home."

After saying that, Xu Damao snorted coldly, then pushed his bicycle into the courtyard without looking back.

Looking at Xu Damao's back, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh.
"You said that Uncle Xu is really a piece of shit.
Ten years ago, they started to mess with Aunt Zhang and Uncle Yan's families. Now they have moved out of the courtyard. Seeing that Director Lou gave you two meat coupons and grain coupons, he instigated Xu Damao to come and mess with you.
We have been neighbors for decades, and I really don’t know what he is thinking.”

After complaining, Liu Guangqi asked curiously,

"By the way, Zhuzi, where did Director Lou and his family get so many food coupons and meat coupons? Even if their family is rich, it would take a lot of effort to buy so many on the black market!
Not to mention milk powder tickets which are rarer than bicycle tickets. "

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Guangqi asking about the Lou family's food coupons, thinking it was not a secret, he told him.
